8th December, 2006 (Part Two)

It is Lonza's Holiday Gala Party today and we had reserved a room at the hotel near the Convention Centre where the dinner was being held. Everyone 'got down to work' after we checked in. We took turns to bath and then started making up... ...

And this is the make-up artist for the night... ... my Sharon Au-look-alike housemate, Xiaoyan

After more than an hour of preparation, ta-dah!!!!!

We got down to the convention centre where the buffet dinner was held. Got ourselves a table, and we started taking pictures for the night :p

My colleagues - Adrian on my right, Andre and his wife on my left

Sean on my right and Andre (again) on my left

And those below are from our own TAP community... ...

After we had our fill, we went to the ballroom where people were dancing away to the music. But the music wasnt to our liking. Nevertheless, we danced the night away till abt 1+ am...

Oh yah.. and for the night, I had a Long Island Tea, one gin lime, one champagne, one budweiser and a Bourbon neat... Good enough to gimme a good night sleep :p
